Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the effectiveness of sildenafil (40 mg or 80 mg) “on demand” on the severity of Raynaud’s phenomenon
    Protection of trial subjects
    Any harmful manifestation occurring in an included patient whether or not related to the research or drug being evaluated will be considered an adverse event (AE). Continuous blood pressure monitoring will be performed 3 times during the first treatment cycle, at the first dose of each treatment week (V1, V2, V3). The measurements will be performed at the Clinical Investigation Center in Grenoble, at the same time as the measurement of digital blood flow, by digital plethysmography (Nexfin®) (7). The collection of AEs will be done during the interview and clinical examination at each visit (V1 to V6). In the event of 3 serious adverse events (SAEs) or an unexpected SAE, the independent monitoring committee (chaired by Dr. Sophie Logerot, hospital practitioner of the Grenoble Regional Pharmacovigilance Center) will meet. It can also be convened at any time at the request of the clinical trials pharmacovigilance team. . The protocol will only be continued after the committee has given its opinion.. This committee may propose to the sponsor and to the coordinating investigator the stopping of this research or a modification of the protocol if the safety of the subjects does not seem to be sufficient. Composition of the independent monitoring committee: - Dr Sophie Logerot, Centre Régional de Pharmacovigilance, CHU de Grenoble - Dr Bernadette Satger, Réseau GRANTED Ville-Hôpital, CHU de Grenoble - Dr Olivier Ormezzano, Clinique de Cardiologie, CHU de Grenoble

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited through the vascular medicine department of Grenoble Alpes University Hospitaland enrolled at the clinical pharmacology unit between November 2013 and April 2015.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    All participants were at least 18 years of age and had primary or secondary RP diagnosed according to the criteria of LeRoy and Medsger (15), with at least 7 attacks per week on 5 or more days per week (assessed during the 2 weeks before inclusion). Color charts were used to confirm diagnosis and detail the topography of RP (16).

    Blinding implementation details
    Each trial consisted of a multiple crossover study in a single patient. Repeat blocks of 3 periods of on-demand treatment were evaluated: 1 week of placebo, 1 week of sildenafil at 40 mg per dose, and 1 week of sildenafil at 80 mg per dose, with a maximum of 2 doses daily. The sequence for each block was randomized by using a block size of 6 so that the same sequence could not be repeated in the same person.
